To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch and release it. (The SET indicator light will come on.) Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set speed.

￿To pass another vehicle, depress the ac- celerator pedal. When you release the pedal, the vehicle will return to the previously set speed.

￿The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills. If this happens, drive without the cruise control.

To cancel the preset speed, use one of the following three methods:

a)Push the CANCEL switch; The SET indicator light will go out.

b)Tap the brake pedal; The SET indicator light will go out.

c)Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator and SET indicator lights will go out.

￿If you depress the brake pedal while pushing the ACCEL/RES set switch and reset at the cruising speed, turn the MAIN switch off once and then turn it on again.

￿The cruise control will automatically be can- celled if the vehicle slows down more than

approximately 8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed.

￿If you depress the clutch pedal (manual trans- mission) or move the selector lever to N (Neutral) position (automatic transmission), the cruise control will be canceled.

To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the following three methods:

a)Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and release the COAST/SET switch.

b)Push and hold the ACCEL/RES set switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire, release the switch.

c)Push, then quickly release the ACCEL/RES set switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will increase by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).

To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one of the following three methods:

a)Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch and release it.

b)Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Re- lease the switch when the vehicle slows down to the desired speed.

c)Push, then quickly release the COAST/ SET switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
